It 🎶 "has a first name. It's...."

And I think that everybody who says "baloney" spells it "baloney".

Why? Most nerds on this website probably do know that Latin aquila = eagle because there is a major constellation of that name. That makes it a pretty easy word to remember.

Eventhough your native language is not english you can still pick up on a LOT of things. Getting things 100% correct is where it gets tricky, with little nuances of distinction, and unexpected spelling. (or when litterally looking at a word, breaking it down, it means one things, but is used slightly different)

aquiline is pretty straightforward. And as eibi say, it comes straight from latin so knowledge of english is really not required.

But to be honest I did only know about this word since about 5 years, because, well when is it gonna come up in a conversation. You much sooner hear about carparts ( in a movie when a car has broken down) for example.

Now if you mentioned the more guessed: sobriquet, bucolic, sedition, puerile or svelte.

Yes those are very uncommon words, of those, for me only svelte I think I ve seen somewhere before.
